I’m a cat worshipper from way back… and I love cats from another lifetime that’s for sure

[@getsleepypod]

You must love this story then!

And so is mine! A great name for a cat. ❤️

I just found a black kitten and I’m in love with him ❤

[@Lealiza_Music]

This is different and engaging😺Abby’s style takes a moment to get used to as it is unlike typical “sleepy time” voices. May I suggest that some different mix choices could make a difference here that might suit many listeners. Abby’s ringing voice has some high frequency elements that may contribute to a more stimulating nature. EQ those out, maybe bring up the lows. A 1% reduction in speed could slow it and add space without affecting quality. EQ adjustments would also make room for the music to be more present. This is one of my favorites - let me know if you are interested in further explanation of how to remix this. I am not an engineer selling services😻but a fan with ideas on how to make this more accessible to your audience so it can get the enjoyment it deserves😸

[@smorebooks6038]

Abby does an amazing job of using her voice to help set the scene and create a sense of awe. I found this to be rather, unexpectedly, energizing. Its not a good fit for me for relaxing, unfortunately. Though, if she has done the audio/vooceacting for any audiobooks, I'd be thrilled to listen!

[@stephaniesmith73]

Beautiful voice but yes it’s too entertaining. I need Thomas to sleep. I agree any other audiobook and I would be pumped!

[@theenergyalchemist6206]

​@@stephaniesmith73Tommy boyyy!🙌🏽

[@NannyOggins]

I would love to hear more Ancient Egyptian stories of lore or history. This was one of my favourites. Thank you.

[@getsleepypod]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DreamingCatStudio]

I always crack up when Thomas says “….and we GET SLEEPY.” There’s no question I’m gonna get sleepy. Or else!

[@DanaDelSol]

I crack up too!

[@theenergyalchemist6206]

I love that part too!!😂😂

[@Amalaiel.]

I am soo overjoyed to hear this story featuring Bastet! Thank you all so much for creating this

[@katec9893]

I'm currently going through a very difficult time after experiencing a lot of loss, including my beloved cat. I found the relaxing music to be very calming and soothing, thank you. I like Abbe's voice but like a few others this felt more like a daytime than a night-time reading to me. I'll return to it and listen to the full story in the daytime. I agree that she'd be a good audiobook reader.

[@enchantress7311]

I hope you're doing a bit better. 🌻

[@caroleminke6116]

Your cat is still with you in spirit ❤️‍🩹

[@Melanie-bm7vh]

My goodness... Abbe NEEDS to be narrating films. Outstanding! I found myself trying to hang on to her every word and yet still drifted off nicely. Gorgeous voice.

[@smorebooks6038]

Oh, man- a documentary that she's reading would be so good!

[@Melanie-bm7vh]

@@smorebooks6038 Yes... Imagine a mystical fantasy film. Even a nature program. I have listened to this one every night since it came out... and I am a die hard Thomas fan. Lol

[@joan8198]

@Melanie-bm7vh me too! it's the silence that woke me up. (well there was music but when you sleep you can't turn it up)

Abby sounds like Rachel Weisz from the Mummy. I can fall asleep to that voice anytime

[@anitaearnshaw1082]

Don't know how I'd would get to sleep of I couldn't listen to these beautiful stories, thank you so much

[@on_top_seven7]

I had the best sleep last night from Simon Mattacks's Relax at the Renaissance Fair. I was so sleepy, that I kept falling asleep for school day. Thanks get sleepy team! I appreciate your dedicated and hard work.

[@harriethowell5444]

I also look forward to the stories. I have difficulty going to sleep. Thankyou! ❤❤

[@fromthethrone]

Wooooou! Thomas! What a voice! Thank you

[@Appabunny]

Thanks for a lovely story. This is my favorite on y'alls channel. Abbe's voice is really calming.

[@AngelBabyMama]

Thanks Thomas! I can’t wait. Egypt is one of top fav subjects.

[@getsleepypod]

Hope you enjoy this one!

[@leej6486]

I really enjoyed the story. Abbey did a great job telling the story. I've listen 7 times already. I adore cats.

Yay for mythology. Thank you. Hoping for more from ancient cultures too

[@RavenNl403]

Oh goody!! Just in time!! Thank you so very much Thomas 🤗💤

[@getsleepypod]

Enjoy!

[@kellyann3832]

Abby sounds like Raquel Weiss. I like that 😊❤

[@HappyCatastrophy]

This is a good story to listen to and stay awake. Unfortunately, Abby speaks too quickly and animatedly and has too many high notes for sleep.

[@joan8198]

this is what I thought too but then after a few paragraphs I was gone 😅

[@CharleeMercer]

I found slowing it done helps!!

[@SleepytimeChronicles68]

Sleep peaceful sleep how wonderful to sleep to the meditation. Thank you 💕💕💕

[@subspacescout9951]

Now this, THIS is something I’ve been looking for without realizing this was something I was looking for.

As for me l am mostly under impression of a man’s voice and music. All this creates wonderful perception of o f the action to come and subtle serenity which acquires even medical effect

My children of Bastet are here with me listening. Even some of her feral children are outside my window listening.

[@jgernaey1]

I was so looking forward to this but Abby talks too loud and too fast. This one will be good to listen to if I'm going for a walk but not for falling asleep.

[@hankakrivakova8133]

Same here..

[@lauraglover9762]

Agreed. Not relaxing unfortunately

[@malinschuberterlandsson7192]

Agree. I got an instant adrenaline shock when the female voice started speaking, after almost already have fallen asleep 😅

[@kayleighmac5575]

Put your sound down and change your playback speed😁👍🏻

​@@kayleighmac5575thank you for that didn't know you could do that on yt 🤔🤓☺️

[@thetarotking3684]

Last night I wrote on Facebook a story about how I lived a past life in Egypt and I was high and just kidding around but then I fell asleep....and woke up and this was on the TV! LOL im going to copy and paste story I wrote cuz it was just so weird to wake up to this as it aligned with my story lol "In a past life I was an artist 🎨 and I lived in EGYPT! I painted ALL OVER THE WALLS! The town villagers didn't like my paintings at first....but the Pharoah saw them and he was pleased! 👀 He asked me to paint a picture of the Egyptian cat goddess BAST as well as the Lion godess Shekmit over his bed! 🐈 🦁🛌 THEN we became Lovers because the Pharoah could not resist my beauty! 💋 but alas...his wife the Queen found out of our affair! 😳 then she turned me into a mummy and now I came back to life like Return of the mummy, and I'm just trying to Live a PEACEFUL LIFE THIS TIME! Yet I'm still painting on the walls, and expressing myself with SYMBOLS, AND I'm also still manifesting Kings into my life to remind me of the Pharoah....I miss him!! ✍ #TarotKing 👑 #SriblezTheAncientScribe

[@aprilwhite20]

I had a Tortie named Bastet

[@iconicfatty]

Please repost that coraline bedtime story with rain sounds video . I listen to it every night and I checked today and it has been removed , I genuinely cried . Please please please re upload it

[@user-ro6wi5zc5i]

I have searched without luck just for the background music they use in the get sleepy stories. Any suggestions?

[@terithomas9586]

Was looking forward to this one, but i must agree with all comments. Not relaxing at all. Couod you have someone else read it? I think Simon would be perfect for this one!

[@shrutisatdeve4535]

No offense Abby, you're doing amazing but a Lil voice modulation would've helped a lot and the tone could go a bit lower since the audience is used to Thomas's voice. Again thank you for doing this for us, we appreciate your efforts.

Great story telling voice, but not for sleepy time.

[@bravonorthyt]

The vocals are loud and clear but the background music is completely inaudible.

[@bellablue1347]

The voice is beautiful but makes me Not wanna sleep

[@zsrz4877]

I fell asleep.

[@alexander3699]

Really nice! I created an experimental ASMR film called “Cats of the Bayou” paying my own tribute & love of cats:)

[@natashalelacheur2485]

I find this lady’s voice too loud and penetrating to induce sleep. It’s a great story but not good for getting back off to sleep at 3 am. Thomas or Arif narrating this story would be preferable, to me anyway.

[@vincentturo5376]

Soothing pod channel did this 2 months ago

[@yourmumsdoingtheholeteam]

i went from a really relaxed state of mind after the intro, to hearing a Bridget Jones's diary voice over..... gutted.. absolutely gutted... it might as well have been Mr t doing the voice role 🙈

[@yourmumsdoingtheholeteam]

please remember that I'm trying to fall asleep whilst listening to this.. 🙃

[@Romione7]

I prefer a more soothing and quiet tone for a sleep story. I couldn’t fall asleep to this unfortunately.

[@markmckinnon9238]

Your sleepy time voice is sickly sweet ... no thanks you pretenders .

[@LudmilaM4]

Is it possible only men's voices, please?

[@preranashetty7230]

Too loud and fast Can’t understand anything

[@user-bu3ex3vo8m]

Good story but her voice is too loud and clear to sleep to 8:01

[@EriPineda]

I prefer the male voice

[@angelabryant2731]

SHE'S NOT A "GET SLEEPY" VOICE...

[@shmicg1719]

Where’s the guy? No. I had to stop this.

[@brofourtwenty2143]

Omg the start was a total bait, i thought the man will continue reading then that woman killed the vibe. I want to sleep and relax, her tone was not the vibe.

[@moirahill6397]

I was falling beautiful to sleep with the man speaking then this woman's voice suddenly woke me up. It was pretty jarring and I didn't like it. Sorry, the voice was too harsh for me. 😢

[@BladeRunner25463c]

I'm sleepy 🥱
